Milan-based architect Beatrice Rossetti (Beatrice Rossetti) says that the house initially looked very different. The only thing that in the current image "corresponds to reality" is an interesting decoration of the walls of the bedroom and dining room. “The walls are covered with pear veneer panels,” says Beatrice. “The panels are made in the form of narrow long boards — we wanted to imitate the parquet flooring. The usual color of the pear is dark brown. The darker it is, the more valuable. the pinkish sheen is what we needed. By the way, it has come a long way: wood is being brought from China. You ask why such difficulties? Just look at it: an infinitely beautiful combination of shades and velvety texture. "

In the rest of the room walls of dark colors. Stylist Paola Cardinetti (Paola Cardinetti) says that from the point of view of decoration is only a plus. “There are two approaches to how to make a profitable background,” says Paola. “One is to use bright textured coatings, rich ornamental textiles or wallpapers. And then put the most neutral furniture together — light, to give the impression of some clouds on the blue sky, or dark, to play on the contrast: on a complex background, it will look very graphical. In the case of this project, the most comfortable background was originally - no. I like these options: empty, the dark background unleashes Be hands. It is not necessary to perform calculations for hours trying to get to one shade does not interrupt the other, make for yourself what you want. " Paola decided to create an image of a stylish British loft, but with notes of pure Italian, even Milanese elegance. For this, she used modern furniture brands. B&B ITALIA. On the one hand, this is a very cosmopolitan version, outside of countries and characters. On the other hand, you can feel the purely Italian ability to work with leather (most of the furniture is in leather). The second plus is interesting forms. “It would seem that they are very simple,” Paola commented. “But no: if you look closely, it turns out that the corner is rounded there, the back is slightly bent. Due to this not immediately recognizable complexity, the whole effect arises: look, you it is "catchy", but you can't understand what it is. Sports interest appears: what is there? You start looking at it and now it’s heading into the study, and after five minutes you are already a fan of this furniture. I confess with me that's exactly what happened. "

British accent is created at the level of sensations. It seems that you look and list to yourself: the house is in Milan, the architect and stylist are Italians and so on. But it still seems that outside the cabs drive and beat a quarter of an hour Big Ben.
